DISTRIBUTION AND OCCURRENCE

SPECIES: Artemisia nova | Black Sagebrush
GENERAL DISTRIBUTION : Primarily a Great Basin species, black sagebrush has a scattered distribution throughout much of the western United States. Its range extends from Montana south through Wyoming and Colorado to northern New Mexico and westward through the southern third of Idaho. This species occurs most commonly in Utah and Nevada but occurs in scattered locations in California, Arizona, and Oregon [5,6,62].

It also occurs as an understory dominant within forested communities. Forested habitat types using black sagebrush as an indicator have been identified within ponderosa pine, juniper, and pinyon-juniper series [1]. Published classifications listing black sagebrush as a dominant or indicator species include: Presettlement vegetation of part of northwestern Moffat County, Colorado, described from remnants [2] Vegetation and soils of the Crane Springs Watershed [11] Vegetation and soils of the Rock Springs Watershed [12] Vegetation and soils of the Churchill Canyon Watershed [14] Habitat types of the Curlew National Grassland, Idaho [20] A classification of forest habitat types of northern New Mexico and southern Colorado [23] Phyto-edaphic communities of the Upper Rio Puerco Watershed, New Mexico [27] Preliminary habitat types of a semiarid grassland [28] Grassland, shrubland, and forestland habitat types of the White River-Arapaho National Forest [30] Sagebrush-grass habitat types of southern Idaho [31] Plant associations of Region Two: Potential plant communities of Wyoming, South Dakota, Nebraska, Colorado, and Kansas [35] Grassland and shrubland habitat types of western Montana [43] Grassland and shrubland habitat types of the Shoshone National Forest [54] Coniferous forest habitat types of central and southern Utah [66] Artemisia arbuscula, A. longiloba, and A. nova habitat types in northern Nevada [67]
